The study of the South Aegean Park is at the moment more mature than the Ionian Sea, but the logic of the government is to announce both parks at the same time.

The Nice Conference acts as a catalyst for the announcement of parks and Greece’s main objective is to arise areas protection in Ionian and South Aegean where will the competent bodies then be able to oversee that all work by rules who have been put and where appropriate sanctions can be imposed on anyone who does not adhere to these rules.

According to the newspaper competent sources, this “exercise”, in terms of successful completion of both parks, is “quite complex”, with the project’s functionality criteria summarized in the phrase “meaningful management and control”.

In the case of South Aegeanthe difficulty lies more in administrative issues arising from the “fragmentation” of the park in order to “fit” the areas of protection within our territorial waters and can, at the same time, be “effective management”.

As for whether it will eventually join the particular park from the outset and southern part of Amorgosthis remains to be decided by the study team.

Correspondingly, in the Ionian Park, the point is to clarify issues related to land usesafter the addition of coastal parts of the mainland (Kyparissiakos Gulf, Mani, etc.) to the protected areas, as well as coasts of large islands such as Lefkada, Kefalonia and Kythera, where they nest seafood and marine mammals.

According to the report, the Ionian park will now touch the 20,000 square kilometers and the park in the souththe Aegean to exceed 8,000 square kilometers. In terms of the form of the two parks, the Ionian parks will be characterized more than a “continuation” of maritime protection departments, while the South Aegean will refer to “fragmented” protection zones including islands, islands, islands, some inhabited islands (Folegandros).

It is noted that the issue of marine parks is one of issues where will discussed At the meeting of Kyriakos Mitsotakis with the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoganwhen it is done.
